Manda Jønsson
Manda Jønsson is a director and theatre-maker based in London and Copenhagen, currently finishing her MA in Advanced Theatre Practice at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. Having 5 years of experience in the professional theatre industry in Copenhagen, she is exploring the theatrical industry of London. She enjoys taking risks while listening to her gut instinct and collaborators. Her approach is curious, experimental, playful and
her work focusses on asking critical questions, may it be to an existing text of a play or a contemporary devised piece. Either way, she works with the specific performance with a personal response. She aims to stage performances with a clear set of artistic choices, and she often uses audience interactions, surprises, contrasts and sound/music as tools to serve the logic of the piece.
Octavia Fox
Writer, Performer & Co-Founder
Octavia Fox is a somewhat annoyingly tenacious writer. Her library includes two poetry collections (think Bukowski mixed with Charly Cox) a profuse gamut of short stories (there are not enough modern murder mysteries) and her current project - a post-rock gig theatre adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam Trilogy. She is also a nuanced director and performer - her theatre work specialises in musicality (certified Grade 8 vocalist and an average guitarist), interrogations of gender and queer identity and a fascination with absurd history. In an administrative capacity, she was General Manager of the award-winning Finborough Theatre whilst studying full-time. She has a BA in Comparative Literature from King’s College London and an MA in Advanced Theatre Practice from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
